| Hi all. Long time watcher, first time poster. I've just got a new giants flag, st George with giants crest top left, northern soul fist bottom right (another love of mine) with 'falling in love' through the centre. 8ft x 4ft. I usually loiter near back of brittania, which seems a it of waste having flag up there, as won't be very visible to rest of ground?
Any ideas on best place? Was thinking over to side where away fans sat, draped over seats (tied down)? Usually a few empties to cover ![Sad icon_sad.gif](images/smilies//icon_sad.gif) in that part of ground.
Am thinking of getting a decent sized Yorkshire flag to add to it (I do like a nice flag ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif) )
Was thinking of approaching hgsa and club about designating part of ground to flags, to encourage a bit of colour to match day, would there be any support for this?

| i would suggest the wings of the BR stand as there is usually plenty of room there.
and i like the idea of flags too, have a word with Ivor on here and am sure the Supporters association can mention it to the club.

| Cheers, I contacted the stadium operator. They seem fine with flag, I just need to show fire certificate to stewards at first home game, and then register flag with stadium. They were ok with flag being draped over seats, as long I shift it if people want to use the seats, which is fair enough.
I'm liking the idea of down the wings of BR.

| Liking the idea of flags...
probably best down the left hand side of brittania stand near the away fans...
only problem with that is they wont get on tv as the cameras are rarely on that side of the ground so other side or behind posts might be a good idea

| Ivor, pm sent, thanks.
Yeah, I'm leaning towards away fans side of brittania. But also fantastic media stand would look good on tv with flags grouped together. I'll contact stadium and club about whether they'd be willing to designate an area. As long as guidelines are clear (fire cert, not covering advertising hoardings etc) then hopefully they'll go for it.
Ill feedback how I get on.

| Id be up for taking my flag to away games, and would lend a hand putting up others. You'd only need a handful of flags at most SL grounds for it to look quite impressive.
I don't get to all away matches (or home for that matter) but would always be up for helping out with putting flags up etc if needed whenever I go.
Maybe could coordinate via here everyone taking flags to away games, and could at least help each other out putting flags up?
I'm trying to get an early finish from work for widnes game, but will be tight as based in telford, Shropshire.

| I used to take my 12ft by 6 ft flag to the games, if other are planning on doing the same I will make sure I have it with me starting from Widnes.

| More flags the better! Shows that the fans have gone that one step further, adds a load of colour and looks brilliant on sky!
Can't remember if it was last year or not but one of our posters put up a website address to design your own flag. Anybody know what it was by any chance?

| I got mine done at football flags.co.uk. £85 for 8ft x 4ft. Very good service and I'm well chuffed with the result. They use digital print techniques as opposed to traditional embroidery (such as barmy flags who are also good). For reference the same design by barmy flags was quoted at £240. This was due to the complexity of the crest. Flag took about 10 day turnaround from initial email contact with them.
I'll try to get a picture up if I figure out how.
I have 4 x 50cm rope cords for tying down, should be ok? Any feedback welcomed.

| Just all remember to get a fire safety certificate otherwise they won't be allowed in.

| I think all Footballflags.co.uk flags are all fire certificated as standard.
